Upper front arm RH kit : RBJ000120 Ball joint to suit is VIN dependant
LH kit : RBJ000130 Ball joint to suit is VIN dependant
Bush is : RBX000200

All bush bolts are M14 x 103 mm . Nuts are M14

Ok so I found a picture of the one I need (the lower in the pic) ... as described above Front passenger wheel lower arm ( the one closer to the back of the wheel arch)
Is this the one I need the vin for ?

Looking on Microcat the arm at the bottom of picture is the upper arm ( longer arm )

Upper front arm RH kit : RBJ000120 Ball joint to suit is VIN dependant
LH kit : RBJ000130 Ball joint to suit is VIN dependant
Bush is : RBX000200

If your arm is O'k then just replace bush & ball joint. 3 different ball joints between 2002 -2009.

do the bushes require being pressed in with a workshop press or are they just a push fit ?

Don't know. Sorry Phil

Just had a look at RAVE. There is a special LR tool for removing & installing bushes. But you could do the same with a couple of sockets & a long bolt. Should be fitted in pairs.

Just had these replaced on mine. They needed a 30 ton press ( to get the old ones out) and needed to make an special tool to help push the bush in as the metal around the rubber bush is soft, the bushes also require alignment to the arm, if you haven't done this work before I'd suggest a good Indy to it! I took my lower control arms off the vehicle, dropped them in to the Indy garage for them to press them in.. If you do it this way good luck with the ball joints, one of mine was a real ### to get out..
